It's because it shows that indeed all they have is fear of her. The people don't show any love for her, only fear. The bells show that yet again. So the does exactly what she is now known for, rule with fear. She has nothing else left. No friends, no Jon, no allies, barely an army, no advisors, one dragon. All she has is the fear of the people she came to protect. And she snaps.

Tbh if you look at this season and ignore episode 4, forget that characters like Euron and Bronn still get screentime, and forgive the writers for not getting enough episodes to develop complicated character arcs like Jaime and Dany this probably some of the best TV I've seen The sets they build, the acting, the cinematography. So beautiful. And the overall story makes perfect sense. It's just rushed But I will remember this show for it's greatness. Because it had tons of that. I just have to remind myself to forgive it's flaws of the final seasons of rushed development.

If not even HBO could give enough shits to make such a complex story into enough episodes and budget, then this is pretty much the best piece of fantasy war TV we'll ever get. Shame.

HBO offered to increase budget and 10 episodes for final seasons but D&D said no lmao

The monstrosity that is game of thrones past season 4 lands squarely on D&D, some nobodies who only got the show in the first place because one of their parents was a major figure in Goldman Sachs (Among other things) at the time of pilot.

You told me back when filming season 3 that you were thinking of doing the final season as three movies because you couldn’t imagine pulling off what you and George had in mind on a television budget. Do you feel like you’ve been able to do what you envisioned years ago?

WEISS: Yes. To their credit, they put their money where their mouths are — literally stuffed their mouth full of million-dollar bills which don’t exist anymore. They said, “We’ll give you the resources to make this what it needs to be, and if what it needs to be is a summer tentpole-size spectacle in places, then that’s what it will be.”

BENIOFF: HBO would have been happy for the show to keep going, to have more episodes in the final season. We always believed it was about 73 hours, and it will be roughly that. As much as they wanted more, they understood that this is where the story ends.

That's an antisemitic trope and dog whistle, wow. And i will have you know that David Benioff was hardly a 'nobody' when he started the production of GoT, he was already an established screenwriter with several big movie screenplays to his name and an accomplished author of well reviewed novels on top of that.

Typical commie talk.

Not only did the DEVs totally throw off the CAS/AA balance and make TOWs useless against tanks, no that was not enough. They also had to introduce their most controversial change yet, a 16 character limit on player names.

Shes been there before and didnt go all slaughter everyone. Her lust for the the thrown is jarring because its such a volte-face of her seven season arc. Ever from season 1 shes been in support of putting house Targaryen back on the throne even if it wasn't her. This is a massive new arc thats being pushed in 2 episodes and its trash.

Jaimes arc has also been ruined as its a total regression of not only his character but shit hes said. He SAID, the in the book and the tv show, the reason he killed the king was for the people of kings landing several times. Now all of a sudden hes "fuck em, never liked them"? Shit writing.
